3 Day Give Away

Okay all! So here's the deal... this is an awesome, small little give away that I am doing - it will last 3 days! Yep, that's right! It will be over on Saturday at 6:00CT. (7:00pm East Coast, 4:00pm West Coast).

Let's meet the lovely, generous ladies of this give-away... then you get to see what you can win!

Me! I am giving away something new! Hasn't even hit the shop yet, how awesome is that?!

Yep, well if you don't know me yet, and just plugged in "give-away" in Google to win free things, SHAME ON YOU! The point of these isn't to walk away with swag for nothing - it's to get to know people and to learn about them - that's why we ask that you follow their blog, or find them on twitter... it's so you can broaden your horizons!

Jennifer from Jenni Austria Germany

When I first moved to Europe, I started this blog to keep my parents up to date on all of my trips across Austria, Germany and beyond.  Since then, it's turned into a collection of travel stories, cultural observations and just plain randomness. ;) 

KC from Bits and Pieces & (Etsy)

KC... oh she is my blog friend for sure! Always Tweeting me nice things, she is such a sweetheart and an awesome support system. She just recently started her own Etsy shop and it's getting pretty wild up in there, you should go check it out!

(From KC) I am a Caribbean girl enjoying life in the Midwest.  I started my blog as a way to get writing done, and eventually it turned into a wonderful place to meet others and to read the writing of others.  Blogging also became a form of relaxation and therapy for me.  For a couple months in last year, I thought about doing something for myself, and I was encouraged to open an Etsy shop.  I finally got it going in January 2012 and very much enjoy making my crafts to share with others 

Karen from Hot Mess Momma & Ear Candy

Coupon code for 10% off is: Springtime10  (expires April 15th 2012) 

My name is Karen Wade,  I started Hot Mess Momma last Fall, and I have been having so much fun ever since.  Alot of the products I make are inspired by my family and friends.  My mother is the person that taught me how to crochet when I was very young, and I honestly never thought that one day I would be selling my creations worldwide.  My very favorite item in my shop is my Ear Sugar stud earrings.  The earrings are so much fun to make, and I wear a pair every single day.  

The Give Away Swag:

An 8X6 'Wristlet' Bag from ArtsyAnthropology

A good read from Jenni Austria Germany

A pair of Bobby Pins from Bits and Pieces

A par if earrings from Hot Mess Momma/ Ear Candy

Give Away Winner (February Ad Spaces)

So I did this give away "old school", tallying up everyone's entries and then cutting the strips of paper up and putting them in a bowl, makes me feel like it's the Hunger Games... so I kinda like it. It's also more fun for me, getting to be more engaged in the process rather than hitting a button and having the computer randomly pick you.

(My Hunger Games Moment...)

AND THE WINNER IS... (Insert Drum Roll Here)..... 

KELLY from The Houtz House Party!

Yay! If you e-mail me, I will send you all the required information and pass your info along to the other lovely prize givers!

Last Chance - February Follower Winners

Hey ladies, so as promised if you didn't respond to the first post about winning - I would not tell you, and you would miss out.


I have had to choose three new winners... the two ladies that have already responded:

Jenni Austria Germany

Sand and Starfish

The three new winners, who must contact me by Wednesday for their free swag, are the last that will be chosen.

Jessica K.

Eleanor M.

Sarah @ {the fontenot four}

Like I said, if I haven't heard from the three new winners by Wednesday - this will be the last chance at winners.

January Blog Follower Prize Winners...

As promised, I added the name of all new followers in January (who stuck around the entire month- yes I did go through and cross off people who "unfollowed")... I put the names on a list, and printed them then cut them out... we are getting HIGH TECH.

Those strips of paper were then folded, placed in a large votive or small vase - still not sure about that - the "container" was then shaken until 5 pieces of paper had fallen out - thus my 5 winners!

The winners of some Artsy swag (which I will mail out once they contact me via email)....

Courtney @ My Family Puzzle

Jenni Austria Germany

Meli

Sand and Starfish

Whitneyfreeman

---Any winner I have not heard from by Saturday Feb. 4th at 12:00pm Central Time will go back in the vase, it will be re-shaken and a new winner will be drawn.

*I will not be contacting you to tell you that you won, see this is part of the following my blog :) - if you want to read it, you will be reading it... but if you just followed to win a prize, you might miss out on more prizes!

Give Away Winners

The winners of the give away are: KC and Andi from the Hollie Rogue!  Congrats ladies, your presents will be in the mail later today.

** Each entry was written on a piece of paper and thrown into a glass bowl - all Hunger Games style, so as to keep it fair.

Thank you for entering!  Best of luck to everyone in the next give away!

January Blog Give-Away

Hey all - so last month new followers got presents... which are packaged up and going in the mail today! Yay!!!!

SO... I figured it was only fair to continue the tradition of bribery...

All new blog followers this month will be entered into a giveaway pool and I will draw 5 lucky winners out of a hat (literally) to receive free swag (up to 20.00) from ArtsyAnthropology.

Now, that being said... watch out this year... all kinds of new things in the works... including my January resolutions...

I had mentioned that I was doing "Mini-Resolutions" so I can check things off my list... so this month I have 2 things to add to my list, which is going to get even more awesome

*By not repeat outfit, I must say that jeans, shoes and basic accessories do not count... but I definitely have clothing in my room that I cannot remember the last time I wore it, hence this brilliant resolution.

** I can only eat at home, food that I have cooked for the entire month - I can go eat out, but only if I go out with friends.
